Ensuring Secure and Compliant International Shipments
Why Does Shipping International Verify Companies?
Shipping internationally can be complicated. To ensure the safe and secure transport of goods across borders, Shipping International, a leading provider of international shipping solutions, verifies the legitimacy of all parties involved. This helps safeguard the interests of both shippers and recipients.
The Importance of Verification
Shipping International’s verification process serves several crucial purposes:
Security and Fraud Prevention
Verification protects against fraudulent activities that could compromise the integrity of international shipments. For example, it prevents fraudulent entities from impersonating legitimate shippers and misdirecting or stealing valuable cargo.
Compliance with International Regulations
The international shipping industry is governed by complex regulations and treaties to ensure fair trade practices and prevent illegal activities. Verification ensures that all clients adhere to these regulations.
Building Trust and Transparency
Verification fosters a climate of trust and transparency between the shipper, recipient, and Shipping International. This ensures that all parties have confidence in the integrity of the shipping process, fostering a collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship.
Required Verification Documents
To complete the verification process, Shipping International requires specific documents and information from clients, including:
- Company Registration Documents (Certificate of Incorporation or Business Registration Certificate)
- Proof of Address (recent utility bill or bank statement)
- Bank Statements
- Trade References
- Government-Issued Identification (passport or driving licence of the company’s authorised representative)
Submitting Verification Documents
Clients can submit required documents to Shipping International in several ways:
- Online Forms

Verification Process and Timeline
Shipping International’s verification team thoroughly reviews submitted documents, cross-references information with public databases and conducts due diligence checks. The verification process typically takes between 2-5 business days. Clients are kept informed of the process through regular email updates and phone calls.
What Happens if Verification Fails?
If verification fails due to discrepancies in submitted documents, insufficient information, or concerns about the legitimacy of the client’s business operations, Shipping International will notify the client and provide guidance on addressing the issues. Failure to successfully complete the verification process may result in the suspension or cancellation of the shipment. Shipping International works collaboratively with clients to resolve any issues and ensure a successful shipping experience.
